New Aster, Autumn Glory.— P"™ pf^^; 
While similar In color to Semple's Pink, it has a bet- 
ter and more substantial flower, a deeper and longer- 
keeping colour, larger and stronger type of plant. 
While It cannot take the place of Peerless Pink, and 
others of similar colour, all of which are earlier, it 
supplements them by blooming after the other Late 
Asters are past their prime, and before the early 
Chrysanthemums are ready, thus prolonging the 
Aster season two weeks and coming at a time when 
good flowers are extremly scarce. Pkt., 20 cts. 
Five col- 
ors are 
offered this year of this splendid new class of midsea- 
son Asters, bearing full double flowers of the choicest 
type, with centre showing spiral effect. The blooms 
are large and fluffy, borne on long, straight stems. 
The flowering season of the Triumph Comet type is 
between the extra early sorts and the branching 
varieties. Plants grow fairly tall and have an up- 
right habit.
